Zero / Re: What concepts do you think should have been touched on more in this series?

« on: January 29, 2012, 09:53:43 PM »

Just got reminded of another one while posting in that freshly bumped thread. We know as per Zero 2's ending that Weil was planning a comeback, but does anyone else feel as though the way he came back was just too perfect? He pretty much just came up unopposed with everything necessary to falsify himself as a loyal Neo Arcadian long enough to get in and take [parasitic bomb] over. I get his entire shtick is to be the master of Xanatos Gambits in the Megaman lore, but between arriving on the Forbidden Ark and having a "working" Copy X on deck, anyone else kinda wonder if there's enough there for a Zero 2.5?

Which brings up one more thought/question, was he sealed with Omega (if yes, that's a thoroughly stupid move on part of whoever allows that judgment to befall him) or just exiled to the out lands? (making his timely arrival on the Ark more suspect but gives a good basis for where he could have been working on elements of this plan, namely the second Copy X)

Also just for even thoughts on the matter, I know the Eight Gentle Judges were his creations and they influenced some decisions on his regard, they could be moles as well if I interpret this right.

I'm pretty sure Weil was not in the Ark with Omega, and even if he only started making his plans at the end of Z2, he had six months - or however long the Z3 intro said it was - to bring back Copy X (MKII). Come to think of it, he probably had plenty of plans made during his decades spent in no-man's-land... but no ground to stand on until the Dark Elf was released.

I wonder though, how is it that the Ark was even designed with the capability to return rather than forever accelerating into outer space?

I would.

I don't really see the connection, if we're talking enjoyment. It's the journey that's interesting, not the destination. In fact that's pretty much what character development is all about.
It might add a weird tragic undertone to everything he does, but that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing for a character...

I haven't played either V or VI. But I believe the general consensus is that VI is the better game?

VI did more new things with the story and had deeper characterization, better graphics, snappier combat, and maybe better music, but V's job system makes up for much of that (it's not far behind in the first place). I'd say VI has the edge, but it's a close call.

Zero 4 also touched on the subject that Weil was human, but transferred to a robot body. I can't see that happening without the aid of a spychic to guide the soul of the man to the mechanical monstrosity.. I always wondered how they did that, as it bugs the crap out of me sometimes. Metaphor perhaps?

I've had an idea for that kind of concept for a while. Basically, you submerse a person in a nanite "bath", and each individual cell (in the brain anyway) is analyzed, tested for input and output, which is then duplicated by some mechanical equivalent.

Theoretically, you could even do this while the person is conscious, without ever putting them under...

I eat up any backstory like it's candy, but there are two bigger things I'd particularly like to know more about.
The Big 4 and their relation to (Copy) X, as well as how they would have acted after they were made aware of their mistake in Z3 - if only they hadn't died.
Cyberspace, what with how it lets programming alter reality, and if Wily might have been aware of it on some level considering he made the Virus.

I don't even remember there being one.

(click to show/hide)

He was one armed before, it was even implied that Phaeris, the dragon whom Qilby wants to kill, omnom'ed that arm of his. So yeah, you forgot about it.
And I know you weren't surprised, perhaps I merely worded my post wrong.

Also, what do you mean the rest wouldn't cause a change in his demeanor? Are you saying that remembering all of your past lives, while no other Eliatrope does, wouldn't eventually cause you to go bonkers? The point is... Qilby was just keeping an act. He hid his insanity, mostly because he had only one arm, and he was probably quite weak still after being imprisoned in the cube for so long. So after he got a POWER BOOST from the Eliacube and got his arm back, he went full [tornado fang]ing nuts on Adamai and Grougal. I mean, hell, he even says that he wanted to punch Grougal for so long now.

Though I do understand and kind of agree with it, that him keeping his cool and calm personality wouldn't be bad. Still I really am not complaining.

(click to show/hide)

A lot actually. It shows, for one, what a lying sack of [parasitic bomb] he is and that he most probably really, REALLY wanted to be king. But never got a chance to. This is just speculation though, but it might be that part of his reason for doing all of this is that he never got to be the king. Still, we won't know until the finale.

Fair enough.
Mind you, my other complaints remain, so while I'll give 'm a chance as a villain, the episode could've been better.

I don't mean that I was surprised by Quilby turning out to be a bad guy all along, since they had built up his suspicious aura pretty well, I just hated how he went from haggard to excited. That's also why it looked like a cop-out.

Dunno what's significant about the arm, was he one-armed before and I just forgot about it?
The rest wouldn't really cause the sudden on-off switch in demeanour we see when he changes outfit.

(click to show/hide)

In fact, even though he's now laughing more and is acting kinda crazy, he still retains his old attitude.

You don't say...

(click to show/hide)

Speaking of which... you probably don't know, but Qilby was never the king of Eliatropes. It was Yugo. We knew that too thanks to the Island of Wakfu game, back when episode 6 first aired.

Well, what does that explain?

The fight scenes were really uninteresting, even weirdly so since they're usually done well. Not just that we've seen it before, but also that it was pretty spammy, using the same moves over and over and just having them miss a lot.
As well, the dialogue (from the villains mainly) became really trite and bland.
And of course,

(click to show/hide)

Quilby completely changing personality. Being an omnicidal maniac without looking like a cartoonish supervillain is pretty hard to do, but they had some ground to stand on with the whole "it's sad but our race needs to keep moving" concept - and then threw it away, deciding to have Quilby turn into an uncaring sadist.
Which also made it feel like a lame attempt at a surprise "he was a bad guy all along!" twist. That might have worked if he kept his previous demeanour. Eternally slightly smiling, calm and kinda bored villains are fine too.

Also, he just didn't seem very powerful or threatening - a side character and the kid he was taking care of gave him a run for his money. I'll admit that that at least seems to be intended, considering his reflection on a "mere dragonet" and wanting help from Rushu.

It just felt horribly cliché and uninspired. Nox was executed much better, so I'm not sure why they messed it up this time.

(also the filler WAS quality, like Flame said, so I enjoyed watching them; just felt impatient for the plot)

I just wish they made more use of expressions. I mean, I got that shot while X was halfway through blinking by pure chance and it just adds so much personality to it.

Nice! The crusher effect's timing seems a bit off though, it looks like the big flash is meant to disguise the tile underneath being removed, but it flashes too early/removes the tile too late. Though perhaps just making a few shards of rock fly out from the tile would make the tile being removed less obvious?
It looks like the sensor beam itself does the damage rather than the shots it fires after, IIRC it was possible to dash through the beam at some angles without being hit by the shots.
